Gyokuro Green Tea

The Emperor of Green Teas, Gyokuro is the rolled form of the shaded tea leaf. In the final month before harvesting, Gyokuro is covered by shade. This shade prevents most of the L-Theanine, an amino acid, from converting into Catechins which can make the tea bitter. As a result, Gyokuro has a sweet, unique taste that is very favorably compared to the sun-grown
Sencha grade of teas.
